The Ghana Journalist Association (GJA) has directed all media houses to with immediate effect seized all forms of media coverage on Hon Mavis Hawa Koomson who is the Member of Parliament for Awutu Senya East constituency in the Central region.
The President of the Ghana Journalists Association, Mr Albert Kwabena Dwumfour has asked the New Patriotic Party (NPP) to immediately investigate and sanction attackers of David Kobbena, a Cape FM broadcast journalist.
He also called on the Ghana Police Service to investigate the incident immediately and prosecute the culprits.
The police officer who invited Kobbena before he was assaulted should also be sanctioned for unprofessional conduct.
On Thursday, December 28, 2023, some thugs, numbering about 15 and wearing a branded T-shirt of Mrs Mavis Hawa Koomson, the Member of Parliament for Awutu-Senya East, allegedly pounced on Mr Kobbena, a morning show host of Cape FM, and beat him mercilessly without provocation.
This was at the Central regional vetting of parliamentary aspirants of the NPP, held at the Regional Coordinating Council in Cape Coast.
